and were in conformance with TS.
Items considered during the review
included: verification that limiting conditions for operations were met
while components or systems were removed from service; approvals were
obtained prior to initiating the work; approved procedures were used;
completed work was inspected as applicable; functional testing and/or
calibrations were performed prior to returning components or systems to
service; quality control records we e maintained; activities were
accomplished by qualified personnel; parts and materials were properly
certified;
and,
radiological
and
fire
prevention controls
were
implemented. Work requests were also reviewed to determine the status of
outstanding jobs to assure that priority was assigned to safety-related
equipment maintenance which may affect system performance.
The following
maintenance activities were observed / reviewed:

Operational Safety Verification (71707)
The inspectors observed control room operations, reviewed applicable logs
and conducted discussions with control room operators during the report
period.
'lso, the operability of selected emergency systems was verified,
.
tagout records were reviewed and proper return to service of affected
components was verified.
Tours of the auxiliary building, diesel
building, turbine building and service water structure were conducted to
observe plant equipment conditions, including fluid leaks and excessive
vibrations and general housekeeping efforts.
The inspectors verified
compliance with selected limiting condition for operation (LCO) and
results of selected surveillance tests.
The
verifications were
accomplished by direct observation of monitoring instrumentation, valve
positions, switch positions, accessible hydraulic snubbers, and review of
completed logs, records, and chemistry results. The licensee's compliance
with LCO action statements were reviewed as events occurred.
The inspectors routinely attended meetings with certain licensee
management and observed various shif t turnovers between shif t supervisor,
shift foremen and licensed operators,
These meetings and discussions
provided a daily status of plant operations, maintenance, and testing
activities in progress, as well as discussions of significant problems.
On March 3,1988, the licensee notified the NRC resident inspectors that
an accumulation of gas had been discovered in the piping of the "A" trains
on Units 1 and 7 in the RHR discharge to the charging pumps suction
piping.
This gas was analyzeo and was found to contain the same

composition of H2 volume control tank overpressure of hydrogen. The RHR
to charging pump suction is used during the recirculation phase during
accident conditions. The licensee vented the gas from Unit 1 "A" train on
February 26, 1988. The amount of gas vented was equivalent to 450 gallons
of water.
No gas was found on Unit 1 "B"
train.
Unit 2 "A" train was
vented on February 29, 1988.
The equivalent of 310 gallons of gas was
removed. No gas was found on "B" train. Successive venting was conducted
s:
on March 1 and 2 with decreasing amounts of gas accumulation.
The
licensee went to a 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> venting schedule and no more accumulation of gas
was found. The immediate concern was the safety significance in regard to
the high pressure charging pump operation during accident conditions. The
licensee
contacted Westinghouse Corporation and was
informed by
Westinghouse and Pacific Pump (Manufacturer) that the gas volume be
limited to less than 6 cubic feet. However, the licensee has initiated a
program to not allow any gas build up.
This program consists of regular
venting and charging pump operation which will preclude the gas buildup.
The licensee is investigating certain modifications and alternatives as a
,
permanent fix to the gas accumulation.
For further information refer to
Inspection Report No. 348-364/88-05.
No violations or deviations were identified.
7.
Radiological Protection Program (71709)
Selected activities of the licensee's Radiological Protection Program were
reviewed by the inspectors to verify conformance with plant procedures and
NRC regulatory requirement. The areas reviewed included:
organization
and management
of
the
plant's
health
physics
staff,
" A LARA"
implementation, Radiation Work Permits (RWP's) for compliance to plant
procedures, personnel exposure records, observation of work and personnel
in radiation areas to verify compliacce to radiation protection
procedures, and control of radioactive ma:erials.
No violations or deviations were identified.
8.
Physical Security Program (71SSI)
Licensee's compliance to the approved security plan was reviewed by the
inspectors.
The inspectors verified by observation and interviews with
security force r?mbers that measures taken to assure the physical
protection of the facility met current requirements.
Areas inspected
included:
organization of the security force,
establishment and
maintenance of gates, doors, and isolation zones, access control, and
i
badging procedures.

Engineered Safety Systems Inspections (71710)
The inspectors performed inspections of portions of various safety related
systems during this inspection period. Major components were checked for
leakage and any general conditions that would degrade performance or
prevent fulfillment of functional requirements.
The following Unit 2 systems were inspected in detail:
Auxiliary Building Ventilation System.
Penetration Rooms Filtration System.
Containment spray System Including Chemical Additive System.
Residual Heat Removal System.
Items inspected included: confirmation that licensee's system line-up
procedures matched plant drawings; surveillance procedures included the
surveillance requirements of the Technical specifications; system valves
and electrical
breakers were in correct alignment or position;
instrumentation was inservice and calibration was current; hangers and
supports were aligned and in service; equipment was properly labeled; and,
general housekeeping and cleanliness were properly maintained.
